For what it's worth... FB's and all blockers go to the closest uncovered defensive player in the direction of their assignment. As this FB went into action for the play, he went to block the closest guy the LO... The LE steps back to go into coverage and then reads run giving the appearance of him looping around the TE. The TE blocks down as the play is designed and picks up the MLB. It's not a vision issue... The FB needs to get play side faster so the target, the LE, is the closest uncovered guy to him ... this is a speed/agility thing... IMO...

From a build perspective I like to say that the speed and agility of your lead blocker needs to be within 5 points of the person they are leading. Any faster and you are missing out on vision or strength, any slower and the person you are trying to lead is going to be ahead of you.

This could be true. The play had my bruiser FB in. I was hoping he was fast enough on the play (trying to balance snaps). It was the speed HB. I may have to rerun it with the speed FB in to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for all the input guys. It's tough to make the dots act perfectly at this level.
